Developer requests smaller cul‑de‑sac; city weighs compliance, amendment or variance
Summary
DPW Supervisor Jeff Graham reported that Pheasant Run developers requested a 40‑foot diameter cul‑de‑sac that conflicts with the city's ordinance, which requires a 50‑foot radius; City Manager Kimberly Hines outlined options: require compliance, amend the ordinance, or grant a variance.
DPW Supervisor Jeff Graham described a Pheasant Run subdivision proposal that requests a 40‑foot diameter cul‑de‑sac. Graham said the city ordinance establishes a 50‑foot radius minimum for cul‑de‑sacs; to meet the ordinance, the developer would need to add about 10 feet to the cul‑de‑sac.
City Manager Kimberly Hines told the committee the council has three basic options: require the developer to meet the existing ordinance, amend the ordinance to allow a smaller dimension, or consider a variance for this project. Hines said the city could approve the project if the construction company conforms to standards; if not, the project would not meet ordinance requirements.
The transcript records discussion of those options but no final decision, ordinance amendment, or variance vote during this meeting.
